With the NHLs trade deadline looming, Craig MacTavish knows exactly what his goals are for the Edmonton Oilers. "Id be disappointed if we werent able to get our second- or third-rounder back," the Oilers GM explained to reporters on Tuesday. "And potentially more than that. If were sitting at the draft with our first pick and then were not picking again until the fourth round, thatd be disappointing. "Thats exactly what were going to try and do - get those picks back." While the Oilers have their first-round selection - on pace for a high lottery position - the team traded its second-round pick to the St. Louis Blues last summer for winger David Perron and its third-round pick to the Los Angeles Kings last month for goaltender Ben Scrivens. And theres plenty of trade speculation surrounding the Oilers - particularly regarding forwards Sam Gagner, Ryan Smyth and Ales Hemsky. Smyth and Hemsky are set to become unrestricted free agents on July 1, while Gagner had two years left on his contract worth $4.8 million per season. "Were going to be aggressively speaking to teams and letting them know what were trying to do, seeing if theres a fit," said MacTavish.

He wasnt quite ready to play on Monday night against Pittsburgh, but feels better now and believes hell be on the field on Sunday as the Texans try to snap a three-game skid.Clowney is still experiencing some discomfort in his knee, but thinks thats just something hes going to have to deal with this season. He was asked if he thinks hes close to where he was before the injury.I have no clue right now, he said. I always feel like I can be better than I am now. So who knows, well see around game time.The rookie isnt concerned about nerves as he prepares to play again, but he is a bit concerned about other things after missing the last six games.I wont be nervous or jittery, he ssaid.dddddddddddd Ill just be out there trying to remember what Im supposed to do on different assignments.If he does play, coach Bill OBrien has said it will be in a limited capacity. Whitney Mercilus has been solid filling in for Clowney and OBrien said hell still get playing time when Clowney is back.Were not going to put him back in there and play 70-80 plays, OBrien said. Hes going to kind of (be) eased back into the rotation anyway. Whitney will still be out there, but that will be a competition ... you dont just hand it to a guy coming off of six weeks being out, especially when the other guy has played pretty well.Clowney, a former South Carolina standout, was injured in the season-opener on Sept. 7 and had surgery the next day. It was the third injury for Clowney since he was drafted in May. He had sports hernia surgery in the off-season and suffered a concussion during training camp.___Online:Online: AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and www.twitter.com/AP_NFL ' ' '
